Hello mis amores I am super happy to have you here again😘. Let’s learn about dry brushing, shall we? Dry brushing is an ancient technique that involves massaging the skin with a dry brush to exfoliate, improve circulation, detoxifies the skin, and promote lymphatic drainage. It is a simple and effective way to improve the health and appearance of your skin.
Benefits of dry brushing:
- Exfoliates the skin: Dry brushing removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling smoother and softer.
- Improves circulation: Dry brushing stimulates blood flow to the skin, which can help to reduce cellulite and improve skin tone.
- Promotes lymphatic drainage: The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste products from the body. Dry brushing can help to stimulate the lymphatic system and improve drainage.
- May help to reduce stress: Dry brushing can be a relaxing and calming experience.
- May help to improve the appearance of stretch marks: Dry brushing may help to break down scar tissue and improve the appearance of stretch marks.
How to dry brush:
- Use a natural-bristled brush.
- Start at your feet and brush upwards in long, sweeping strokes.
- Brush your arms in the same way, starting at your hands and working your way up to your shoulders.
- Brush your torso in a circular motion.
- Do not brush your face or any areas with broken or irritated skin.
- Brush for 5-10 minutes, or until your skin is pink and tingly.
- Apply lotion after dry brushing to help moisturize your skin.
Tips for dry brushing:
- Start with light pressure and gradually increase pressure as your skin tolerates it.
- Do not brush too hard, as this can irritate your skin.
- Brush in a direction that follows the flow of your lymph fluid.
- If you have any skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, talk to your doctor before dry brushing.
Dry brushing is a safe and effective way to improve the health and appearance of your skin. It is a simple and affordable way to pamper yourself and give your skin that healthy glow we all want.
Dry brushing is generally recommended to be done 1-2 times per week. However, it is important to listen to your body and start with less frequent sessions if you have sensitive skin or any other skin concerns.
Here is a general guideline for frequency:
- Normal skin: 1-2 times per week
- Sensitive skin: Once per week or every other week
- Dry skin: Once every 2-3 weeks
You can also dry brush more frequently if your skin tolerates it well. However, it is important to avoid over-exfoliating, which can lead to irritation and redness.
It is best to dry brush before showering or bathing. This will allow you to wash away any dead skin cells that you remove during the dry brushing process.
Here are some additional tips for dry brushing frequency:
- If you are new to dry brushing, start with 1-2 sessions per week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin tolerates it.
- If you notice any redness or irritation after dry brushing, reduce the frequency or stop dry brushing altogether.
- Listen to your body and adjust the frequency as needed.
With a little care, you can reap the many benefits of dry brushing without overdoing it. Well mis amores this is all for today, if you liked this blog please let me know in the comments and if you know of someone that will be benefit from this content please share😉
